Yahoo! Smoke one for me! - Mombu the Cigars, Habanos and Pipes Forum

I suffered a stroke at work on 30 July. The letter approving my retirement
arrived in yesterdays mail. Sure I'm only 43, but that only means I have
more time to enjoy you guys. That also means the hemorrhaging of the savings
account will cease in January. Thankfully I have lots of friends and a
churchload of benefactors to keep the lights on in the meantime. I'll fire
up the previously discussed and newly repaired Cohiba (without the red 'O')
when the first check arrives.

Merry Christmas and Prosperous New Year to you all,
Rich

Excellent! Not TDRL?

It is a total disability retirement package, but only at 60%. Medical came
with the package. (If I interpet the TDRL correctly) Still learning the
acronym speak.

Glad to hear that you're going to get your retirement.

Rich,

Good news on the retirement. Sorry to hear though about your medical
troubles. Hope all stabilizes well and you enjoy that retirement.

Need anything just holler.

I hear herfing is an excellent form of physical therapy (or at least is a nice
escape from the horrors inflicted by your physical terrorist...er, therapist).

Roger that on the physical Terrorist. I've renamed mine Helga the horrible.
My stroke was in the cerebellum (not sure of spelling) so I lost most of my
reflexes and fall down a lot. Mostly right side. Lots of tests (they already
did the anal probe) ahead. Mostly Cleveland Clinic. But best of all, my doc
says it's still ok to herf, but no aerobic exercise for the duration.
Besides I fall off the machinery anyway. :^)

Temporarily Disabled Retired List. If they have hopes of you coming back
on AD, you get retired in 18 month segments. Paperwork hassle for the
most part. Now do your VA package, they may add 40% to your 60%. That
adds up to, uh, a coupla more boxes of cigars a month!
